Breakfasts Without Bacon; Bean Feast

EDIT: Apologies for the lack of photos, I have somehow lost them all, so will endeavour to take more soon. Shouldn't be too tricky, this was yummy.

In my quest to replace my Heinz baked beans with an organic and non Monsanto funding alternative, I have built up a fair collection of tins of beans to try.

My first taste test was Whole Earth's beans in a sundried tomato sauce, apparently. In all honesty, I found them a bit too sweet and I don't like that they have a fair amount of soya in them. I'm all for a bit of miso, tamari or tofu, but I don't like soya being used like wheat is, as a cheap, bulking ingredient. We all know that one of the biggest GM crops is soy- not a problem here in an organic product- but it's also been proven that too much of the stuff can mess with hormones and digestion and cause a variety of problems in both men and women, so I try to avoid anything using it as a bulking agent. Over consumption is bad folks. Everything in moderation. Except cheese. Nothing as delicious as cheese can ever be bad for you, right?

Get me to cater for you!

Having an interest in cooking means being able to facilitate a constant state of eating. Ergo I bloody love cooking.
Up until quite recently I would eat anything and everything, even the things that other people would physically recoil from. Shockingly, as I've now completed my 20s, I've realised there are a lot more things I can no longer stomach.
Somehow I've ended up both gluten free and vegan. And despite it sounding really restrictive, it's actually bloody easy. I should know, I'm a pretty basic cook, really - and just look at the variety of food I make and have available to me! It's immense and "making things vegan" has actually reignited my passion for cooking. Who'd have known?!
Expect a glug of vegan and gluten free recipes, a drizzle of my life story and a rare bonus dash of something I can't stick in my face. I will also attempt humour, so a pinch of salt to hand is recommended.
